Customer Reviews

Cool cookbook with great vintage graphics and yummy recipes

As a fan of old cooking pamphlets, I love Bunny Crumpacker's second cookbook. The recipes I've tried have yielded delicious results, and the entire book is fun to browse through just for its cool, vintage pictures of recipe pamphlets. The text is interesting and fun to read, too. It's a great dessert cookbook for collectors (of cookbooks or recipe pamphlets), and for anyone who enjoys cooking and eating -- in a vintage mode or otherwise.

Lively, fun presentation & a "must" for dessert enthusiasts.

Recipes, illustrations and culinary advice from the recipe pamphlets of America's food makers from 1875-1950 make for a collection of dessert recipes which includes a rare glimpse of American food history. Add colorful ad examples from different eras and you have Old-Time Brand-Name Desserts, a lively, fun presentation which will appeal to any dessert enthusiast.
